California @ Oregon St (8) - 1/17/20

I see what you did there. That's funny. I'm not one that's always obsessing about Ionescu's minutes or when she comes out of the game.

But you know there are alot of people that do, right. Maybe not you.

Now Mannen (walk on) has checked in. Pivec is sitting. Rueck might be sending some messages. 26-20 OSU.

Rueck rested Pivec a lot tonight for Sunday's game against Stanford. He said so during interview. She played 20 minutes and took 5 shots from the field.

Why was Slocum in with three minutes left in a run away game?

See my previous comment. Pivec and Goodman were both way under their normal minutes, somebody had to play in the back court.

They have three point guards and they all start. Take your pick, but one will be in 99% of the time.

All ways different for the other guy. Honestly I'd rather see Simmons playing than Goodman. Goodman has been cold at times.

So would I. Goodman has been dreadful for quite a while now. Simmons had too many TOs but she grabbed a bunch of boards and was driving aggressively.

USC wow

USC wow

Wrong thread by @Figurehead. I think the UCLA/USC game has its own thread.

Wow is right. USC just did the other top teams in the conference a nice favor.

Teams look pretty even in first part of game. Oregon State does not share the ball well. Poor passes at times.

True. OSU's ball movement needs to be quicker. Slocum and Pivec pass quickly and create quality looks for their teammates. The ball tends to stick in the hands of the others. Players who come open following screens are often missed due to the passer not being ready to make the pass quickly enough.

Very true, get everyone to work on passing much more quickly but it takes a mindset for the others to do that with split second decisions.
